Fluid Sails

DION presents "Fluid Sails," a stunning fusion of engineering and artistry, meticulously crafted from high-quality stainless steel. This monumental sculpture rises to 8 meters in height, extends 7 meters in length, and measures 2.4 meters in width. It is firmly anchored on a sturdy metal base and features advanced flotation systems to maintain its elegant buoyancy.

As night falls, "Fluid Sails" becomes a dazzling beacon, illuminated by 60 strategically placed lights that produce a mesmerizing glow visible from afar. Beneath its sleek surface, the sculpture conceals a powerful engine: three pumps generating a total of 22.5 kW, propelling water at an impressive rate of 255 m³/h.

This combination of engineering prowess and artistic design not only stabilizes the piece but also breathes life into it, merging the static beauty of the sculpture with the dynamic flow of water. "Fluid Sails" invites viewers to immerse themselves in a realm where creativity navigates the uncharted waters of innovation.
